Visitor safety advice for tourism operators

While Queensland is a friendly and safe place to travel, it does pose some real risks for tourists who are away from their home environment (e.g. tourists who aren't strong swimmers or who aren't fluent in English).

Engaging with your visitors directly – talking to them clearly about safety risks – reduces the likelihood of accidents and injuries, ensuring that they have a memorable and safe holiday experience.
